i plugged the z wave stick in my odroid c2.
when i ran the command: ls /dev/ttyACM* i see output of: /dev/ttyACM0
in configuration.yaml, i added in
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
i am running home assistant via venv install.
i do see zwave at the bottom of integration page. but when i click on Configure, a circle spins and spins and never stop.
You probably need to wait for the zwave python module to install. It can take tens of minutes depending on the platform, since in most cases the entire zwave component needs to be compiled from scratch.
One hour is pretty excessive. You can pre-install the zwave module to see if there’s a problem there. You just need to enter your venv and run pip install -U homeassistant-pyozw and it should install version 0.1.4. If it’s already installed it means there is some other problem.
You can use the config file or the integration page, it’s up to your preference.
I think that this may be true for some items, z-wave is a unique item, it requires a bit more setup and management options. When the integrations were established, the z-wave menu was well established and works quite well so I’m sure there was not incentive to port things over.
